Emara Brooks and Judea "JuJu" Watkins have walked the same hallways for years, but they've never shared more than a passing glance. Emara is the quiet, top-of-her-class type who keeps her circle small and her heart guarded. JuJu is the bold, confident basketball star who keeps it casual, and never lets anyone get too close. They couldn't be more different or so they think. But when freshman year at USC throws them into the same path through mutual friends, casual run-ins turn into subtle looks, and an undeniable tension neither of them is ready to admit. Both are used to hiding behind masks. Emara with her independence, JuJu with her ego, but deep down, they're both craving the same thing...someone who sees through the walls and stays anyway. Love was never part of the game plan... but what happens when the one person you least expect ends up being the one who gets you the most?

With all of her savings gone one day, she desperately agreed to a deception. All she has to do is stay for a few weeks at an estate belonging to a rich, powerful and reclusive billionaire. But nothing prepares Jennie for the man she has to deceive. She expected a charming billionaire who would woo her gently during her stay. But the man is a rude, arrogant and domineering beast who scares her and angers her, even as he fascinates and attracts her... Can Jennie stand up to the arrogant billionaire? Will she resist their strong, passionate attraction? Why does a rich, powerful man live like a recluse? And what would happen if he discovers her deception?

He was a stranger to me, a dark and dangerous presence who materialized from the shadows one rainy night to save me from a vicious attack. I didn't know his name or where he was from. All I knew was that the only place I'd ever felt safe was in his arms. But safety is an illusion. And not every savior is a hero. And-as I'd soon find out-having a king save your life comes with a price. Kim Taehyung wanted something from me in return. (kpop version of beautifully cruel by J.T. GEISSINGER)
